(And best of all, we finally have an excuse to dip into our group savings to use tumblr blaze!)
They say the big city is where you go to be someone else. For some, Longsummer is where they go to be themselves. This lesser-known jewel of the Gulf Coast has been home to a secret world for centuries, and the only thing more colorful than Longsummer's past is its present. At night, demons ride the streetcars. Fae stroll the moonlit canals. Vampires lurk in smoky jazz clubs and seedy hotels. Ghosts haunt the Mansard roofs and poison gardens of Belle Reve, and creatures of ancient terror bask under the Spanish moss. In the rich, perfumed heat, passions can rise to a fever pitch. So lie back and breathe. If you feel lightheaded, that means its spell is working.
But beware the masquerade, the unspoken agreement that supernatural beings must hide their true nature. Though humans and supernatural beings mingle in some neighborhoods, they maintain a delicate dance of denial, and missteps can be fatal. Despite this, the city has a way of bringing lovers together across boundaries - with magical results. Some humans are swept away by the promise of an extraordinary life. Some immortals’ curiosity blooms into desire. Other supernatural beings gravitate to one other, taking comfort in the kinship of someone who truly understands. The course of love may not always run smooth, but one thing’s for certain: in Longsummer, it conquers all.
Longsummer Nights explores what it means to be a monster... as well as what happens when you love one. And again, this is a romance anthology, so that means 100% guaranteed happy endings for everyone involved.
Longsummer Nights features fifteen paranormal romances of varying lengths, with content that ranges from explicit to fade-to-black chaste.
